Special War God

Chapter 212 The Alliance Collapses

He smiled coldly: "If King Zhongsun is interested, I can go down with you."

Zhongsun Chunye just smiled and didn't answer. He was just talking fast, and seeing Wu Longhai's invitation, he didn't say anything more.

"Never enter a formation lightly" is the golden rule in the world of cultivation. Unless it is necessary or a last resort, no one will fall into a trap set by others.

Wu Longhai looked around at the other four kings, and then said: "Liu Dabazi, I am very pleased that you can solve the problem of Mile Fortress by yourself. As a reward, Xiuzhou's future tribute will be reduced by 30%!"

Liu Dabazi said respectfully: "Thank you for the gift, King!"

Wu Longhai said: "That's it, let's go back!"

Liu Dabazi and Xia Zhongnan saluted Wu Longhai, bowed slightly in the direction of the four kings, and then jumped into the mist.

On a high place, Wu Longhai said: "Qili, last time I invited you to form an alliance, only you agreed. Thank you so much! I will remember this favor. If there is anything in the future, just let me know!"

Qili looked at the others: "Did the three of them agree to form an alliance?"

Not long ago, Qili did not know that the other four tribes did not agree to the Ruilonghai alliance with Wulonghai. Zhongsun Chunye, Yi Guangshan and Huangfu Talang all responded with a wry smile. With their own ulterior motives, they had expected the Wu tribe to fight with Maitreya City first so that they could reap the benefits. However, at this moment, the Wu tribe's predicament seems to have been resolved, leaving the four tribes in a stalemate. Qili said angrily: "To fight against Maitreya City, if our five tribes do not fight side by side, will they fight for their own camps? I really don't know what you are thinking, hum!" He was saddened by their short-sightedness. Among the five tribe leaders, Qili seemed naive and lacked the agility of others, but he had the clearest insight into the big picture. Wulonghai said: "This matter cannot be forced, otherwise it will lose its fun! Everyone, goodbye!" After that, he turned around and flew towards the sky of Wudu without paying attention to everyone, and disappeared from sight in an instant. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Dabazi, the dispute between the Wu clan and Maitreya City was temporarily settled, and Wu Longhai left without any worries. The other four clan leaders looked at each other. Today, Maitreya City has become a thorn in the side of their four clans that is difficult to eradicate. It is difficult to deal with, and if they leave it alone, the problem may become more serious. They looked at Lanxiu City below, and suddenly envied Wu Longhai for having a wise man like Liu Dabazi to help him. Even though Wu Longhai was dissatisfied with Liu Dabazi, he solved the problem of Maitreya City after all. Didn't he hear Wu Longhai's words clearly? "The tribute from Xiuzhou will be reduced by 30%..." None of their four clans were willing to set foot in the territory adjacent to Maitreya City at this moment, and they could not even receive 10% of the tribute. Huangfu Talang suggested: "Everyone, how about we find a place to talk in detail?" To solve the issue of Maitreya City, several clans must work together. Qi Li retorted: "What is there to talk about? You are so short-sighted, I don't want to be with you!" After that, he turned around and wanted to leave. Huangfu Talang hurriedly tried to stop him: "Qili, don't leave in a hurry. Getting angry won't solve the problem." Qili replied: "We, the Khans, have long been accustomed to the free life on the grassland. We have long been unable to govern those cities and lands. If Maitreya wants them, let it take them. Out of sight, out of mind!" After that, he resolutely left without any hesitation. Although there was a reason in his words, in fact, because Maitreya City is no longer what it used to be, its power has grown. If he forms an alliance with these tribes, he has to guard against betrayal, so he decided to give up part of the territory. After he left, only three tribes remained from the five tribes. Zhongsun Chunye and Yi Guangshan looked at each other and said, "It seems that the alliance cannot continue. Everyone take care of yourselves!" Even if the three tribes joined forces, they could not match Maitreya City, and each of them had their own ulterior motives. How could they check and balance Maitreya City? They sighed sadly and left one after another. After the five tribes divided the Bai people, the alliance eventually collapsed. Liu Dabazi and Xia Zhongnan hid in the mist, watching the leaders of various countries go away, with a lot of emotion in their hearts. At the beginning, the five tribes mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to invade the Bai tribe, but they were defeated and only the Bai capital city was left standing. Who could have expected that the situation would be reversed to this point? ...

In this chaos, the confused king of Bai, Miewang, and Bai Zhige devoted themselves to the mysterious Maha religion. Their dream of revival was probably as far away as the morning mist. The princes of Bai and those sects that depended on the court were now just insignificant pieces on the chessboard of Maha religion, bearing the greatest loss and pain.

The biggest winner was the Xitian Sect, which easily won an enclave deep into the Donggu Territory. This land contained endless possibilities as long as it was managed carefully. The biggest beneficiaries were the "Yutian Ancient Buddha", "Zhenzhuo Ancient Buddha" and the wise man Zhu Fasheng.

The other five countries all returned with a full load, each occupying several states. The monarchs of these countries became rare wise monarchs who expanded their territory in the long river of history. Liu Dabazi and Xia Zhongnan rose rapidly in this turmoil. They rose to prominence with the people around them, climbing from the grassroots to controlling a state, and even dared to challenge those powerful forces.

Life seems like a dream.

They have achieved such success in just a few years. In addition to their own efforts, the changes of the times are the key.

The mist of the psychedelic Lanxiu City dissipated, and it returned to its original magical appearance. Liu Dabazi said, "Xiao Fei, set up such a formation in every city in Xiuzhou. Even the Supreme Hedao dare not easily set foot in it. It's really great!"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "No problem, each city will need at least 10 million spirit stones, 10 cities will be 100 million, you will be responsible for half, and I will find a way to get the rest."

Liu Dabazi smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just saying it casually, just saying it casually!"

He couldn't even afford the expenses of half a city, so how could he dream of such a luxury? If Xia Zhongnan hadn't monopolized the Yuanmai in a top-grade immortal mansion, and there happened to be an alien world to accommodate it, the number of spirit stones consumed in Lanxiu City alone would have been an astronomical figure for them.

Xia Zhongnan continued, "Even if it is impossible to set up formations to deal with the Supreme Hedao in every city, Lanxiu City and Lingxiu City are indispensable. As for the other eight cities, at least a formation that can resist the Huanxu cultivator must be set up."

In the following days, Xia Zhongnan personally inspected every city in Xiuzhou, and asked Feng Yunzi to help find a formation layout suitable for the ground veins of each city. Only in this way can the power of the ground veins be maximized, the loss of spirit stones by the formation can be reduced, and it would be best if the daily operation can be driven only by the natural flow of the ground veins.

Spiritual stones are precious resources for any force, and it is too extravagant to use them on formations. After finding a suitable formation for each city and explaining it clearly to Bai Ze and Lu Mingyuan, Xia Zhongnan felt relieved to go to Tianbing Pavilion with Tu Shan Fang'er.

Xiuzhou's foundation is solid, and its future development depends on themselves.

Before leaving, Xia Zhongnan found Gu Xiu Zhang, took out a medicine bottle and handed it to him, saying: "Xiu Zhang, some things require me to leave for a while. Here is a pill. I hope that when I come back, you have become a cultivator in the Returning Void Stage."

Gu Xiuzhang opened the bottle and saw a dark brown pill. He asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Xia Zhongnan said softly: "This is the 'Spiritual Void Breaking Barrier Pill'. When you ascend to the spiritual void, take this pill and your chance of success will increase by half."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiu Zhang immediately re-sealed the bottle cap and handed it back to Xia Zhongnan, saying, "I hope to break through the spiritual void with my own strength. This elixir should be given to those who need it most!"

Xia Zhongnan put away the pill and responded: "Every cultivator aspires to reach the top. Xiu Zhang, you have gone through so many years and still maintain such perseverance. It is not easy."

Among everyone, he and Gu Xiuzhan had the best understanding. Whenever there were rare cultivation resources, he was willing to share some with Gu Xiuzhan, but if Gu Xiuzhan insisted on refusing, he would never force her.

Gu Xiu Zhang said: "I have tried my best in the path of cultivation, but the gap between me and Brother Fei is becoming increasingly obvious. Brother Fei has killed a powerful Lingkong master with his spiritual cultivation in the Immortal Palace, but I am still far from Lingkong.

Although I am not as good as Brother Fei, my ambition cannot be shaken. I will use my own strength to break through and step into the spiritual space.

If I use the 'Spiritual Void Barrier Breaking Pill' you gave me to advance at this moment, my determination will be severely damaged. Even if this pill can increase my chances of winning by half, I may not be able to succeed.

Besides, the spiritual realm is not the ultimate in cultivation. Once I pass this level, there will be higher realms waiting for me."

Xia Zhongnan's heart echoed with Feng Yunzi's voice: "Well done, you are worthy of being a true disciple of Tianyi Sect. With such great ambitions, why can't you reach the supreme realm?"

Xia Zhongnan asked: "Supreme realm?"

Feng Yunzi replied: "Nowadays, the cultivation world respects the 'realm of unity with the Dao', but 'unity with the Dao' is not the end, there are higher levels above it, such as the master of the Immortal Palace, who must be above 'unity with the Dao'.

If I hadn't been looking for an opportunity to break through the 'harmony', how could I have ever stepped into the Immortal Palace?"

Xia Zhongnan asked: "Master, do you know what this 'supreme realm' is?"

Feng Yunzi said: "I have only heard some rumors. If you surpass 'harmony with the Dao', you can achieve 'transcend the three realms and not be bound by the five elements'."

He sighed, "I really hope that one day I can reach that state and understand what it means to 'transcend the three realms and not be bound by the five elements'."

Seeing that Feng Yunzi was unable to explain in detail, Xia Zhongnan put away his thoughts and asked, "Xiu Zhang, what are your plans next?"

Gu Xiu Zhang replied: "Xiuzhou is now stable, and I am surrounded by my trusted followers. The time is right. I want to take this opportunity to go out and explore, and find the key to breaking through the spiritual void!"

Xia Zhongnan nodded: "Going out and exploring the world is also a kind of experience."

After years of hard work, Gu Xiuzhan is no longer the naive young man who relies on Xia Zhongnan's decision-making. His thoughts are deep and clear, and he knows the direction he is going.

After saying goodbye to Gu Xiuzhan, Xia Zhongnan found Zuoqiu Juemin again.

Zuoqiu Juemin also raised the same question when he presented the same bottle of "Lingkong Pozhang Dan".

Zuoqiu Juemin was immediately excited when he learned that this pill could increase the chance of ascending to the spiritual realm by half...

He has reached the pinnacle of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but has never been able to glimpse the dawn of the door to the void. Xia Zhongnan's gift made his hands holding the elixir tremble.

Liu Dabazi was the first to step into the realm of breaking through the void, and then Zhao Delin also went into seclusion to practice. The urge in his heart to break through was hard to contain, and he could only numb himself by dealing with the complicated affairs in Xiuzhou.

He couldn't help but hug Xia Zhongnan and said gratefully: "Xiao Fei, I'm so grateful. You are my benefactor!"

Seeing Zuoqiu Juemin so emotional, Xia Zhongnan felt that it was worthwhile to give him this elixir.

Since he came to the Thirteen Divine Guards, Zuoqiu Juemin has always been caring towards him.
